I have always been told time travels fast, gaining speed as the years pass while one’s hair turns to gray. Although I have yet to earn my first gray hair, I can certainly testify to the acceleration of time. I still remember sitting in my dorm room freshman year, looking around at my small corner of the room and wondering, “What have I gotten myself into?” In that moment, surviving my first year in college seemed doubtful. Graduation? Utterly unlikely.  And yet, four years and a couple months later, here I sit at my computer: a college graduate ready to escape this small town and explore the world. And I plan to do just that.

If you are reading this blog, then I am sure you are already aware of the adventure God has set before me. South Africa is the start of a new chapter in my life, and I cannot wait to see how this story unfolds.  I hope all of you plan to come along for the ride. :)
